Evaluation of groundwater modelling
Journal Title: Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences (JBES) - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 6
Abstract
The study deals with groundwater technique involving flow hydrodynamics and water quality mass transport. Modeling is a very wide term as used and applied in earth sciences, many studies have conceptual models, hydrogeological models, mathematical models, analytical models, numerical models, stochastic models and deterministic models. There are marked differences among these models but also many similarities depending on their use and dimensions of applications. The study treated flow-hydrodynamics and Water quality-mass transport. The study deals with an evaluation of a conceptual model in hydrology which is the pictorial representation of the groundwater flow explained in the form of a block diagram. The observations of the research implication have been that qualitative interpretation of data and information of a site are conceptualized.

Groundwater quality assessment in a major livestock feedlot/abattoir (imowo-eleran) in ijebu-ode, ogun state, Southwestern Nigeria
This study assessed the quality of groundwater in Imowo-eleran, a major livestock feedlot/abattoir in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun state, southwestern Nigeria. A total of twelve (12) boreholes, grouped into A, B and C in relation to...
Equilibrium and kinetic studies of biosorption of Cr (III) and Cd (II) by activated carbon prepared from Spirulina algae
The Spirulina algae were converted into activated carbon to remove heavy metal by low cost and innocuous material in the water. The sorption behavior of Chromium (III) and Cadmium (II) cations by Spirulina was studied...
Diet of largemouth Bass reared in earthen ponds in polyculture system with Nile Tilapia and Chinese carps in a semi-arid environment at Deroua Fisheries Station (Fkih Ben Saleh, Morocco)
Diet is an important part of the biology of the largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides. Lacépède, 1802). The behavior and interactions that occur in a fish population in an aquatic environment are the basis of any fish m...
Prediction of the desertification variation trend in Haj Ali Gholi desert basin for 2030 and 2045
Nowadays, prediction of the desertification variation trend used to explain the drought status for the next decades. In this study, using Landsat time series images, desertification variation trend in Haj Ali Gholi basin...
Evaluation of electrocoagulation-flocculation for recovery of Dunaliellasalina microalgae for biodiesel production: The energetics and economics
The high energy input for harvesting biomass makes current commercial microalgae biodiesel production economically unfeasible. In this study, the effect of current intensity, electrode gap, application time, stirring sp...
